In 1895 twenty-six-year-old Bridget Cleary disappeared from her cottage in rural County Tipperary and remained missing for several days. At last her body was discovered, bent, broken, and badly burned in a shallow grave. Within a few days, her unimaginable story came to light: for almost a week before her death she had been confined, starved, threatened, physically and verbally abused, exorcised, and finally burned to death by her husband, father, aunt, cousins, and neighbours, who had collectively confused a simple flu with possession by the fairies. In The Cooper's Wife Is Missing, Joan Hoff and Marian Yeates try to make sense of this outlandish, unfathomable, medieval "trial" and murder. Drawing on firsthand accounts, contemporary newspaper reports, police records, trial testimony, and a rich wealth of folklore, they weave a mesmerizing fireside tale of magic, madness, and mystery. This is narrative history at its evocative best.
The manuscript for Rivall Friendship was first acquired by the Newberry Library in 1937. At the time of the acquisition, the author of this seventeenth-century romance was anonymous. Scholar Jean R. Brink now suggests, based on dating of the manuscript and her analysis of its feminist themes, that the author was a woman. Specifically, Brink attributes the text to Bridget Manningham, who was the older sister of Thomas Manningham, a Jacobean and Caroline bishop, and the granddaughter of John Manningham, a diarist who recorded performances of Shakespeare’s plays. Rivall Friendship is a post–English Civil War romance that examines proto-feminist issues, such as patriarchal dominance in the family and marriage. Manningham is scrupulous about maintaining verisimilitude, and unlike more fantastical romances of the period that feature monsters, giants, and magic, this text aspires to a level of probability in its historical and geographical details. The text of Rivall Friendship is accessible to most modern readers, particularly to students and scholars accustomed to working with seventeenth-century texts.
Revelations that were revealed to the famous saint and mystic of the Middle Ages, St. Bridget. These are important revelations for our modern times and many secrets of heaven as revealed by Jesus Christ and Our Lady.
After a discussion of the Bridgintine Breviary, given by Our Lord to Saint Bridget we proceed to her life. THE. life of a saint who, played so important a part in the history of her time as St. Bridget of Sweden seems to require a slight sketch of the state of Europe, of the Church, and especially of the Papacy, during the period in which she lived, 1808-78, as a prelude to her biography and as a help to the understanding of her work and character. She lived throughout the greater part of the fourteenth century. Now the. watchword of that century was 'Reform.' In 1811, when Clement V consulted William Durandus as to how to hold the Council of Vienna, he answered, 'The Church ought to be reformed in its head and in its members.' The reformation of the clergy, and especially of the religious, Orders, was the leading idea of the time among thoughtful churchmen; it was, as we should say, 'in the air.' It rang through all the fourteenth century, and it's octave note was struck at the Council of Pisa in 1409. As this idea of reformation developed, it became twofold: there was the reformation desired by loyal Catholics, the friends of the Church, and there was, later on the so-called reformation desired, and unfortunately accomplished only too successfully, by the enemies of the Church, those schismatics and heretics known as the Protestant Reformers. It is sometimes said that St. Bridget was a pioneer of the Reformers. If by this is meant that she belonged to the Catholic Reformers, the true sons of the Church, it is true; but no one would have detested more the heresies of Luther, Huss, Calvin, and Knox, and the rest of the Protestant Reformers, than the Swedish seer had she lived in their time. Laxity in the observance of monastic discipline, especially with regard to the precept of Holy Poverty, had crept into most of the religious Orders, and a reaction had set- in among the Franciscans, and had led to quarrels between the two parties, among the Friars Minor, of the 'spirituals' and the 'conventuals.' The spirituals went to the length of maintaining that a friar had no right of property even in his own food; but they were theP1selves split up into several parties. While St. Bridget was still a child, Pope John XXII published his celebrated constitutions, condemning the Fraticelli and their communistic ideas. Then arose another dispute, when the General of the Franciscan Order land our William Ockham, known as the 'invincible doctor, ' also a Friar Minor, maintained that Our Lord and His Apostles possessed nothing, either individually or in common; they and their followers belonged to a school of philosophic thought called the Nominalists. A year later John XXII published a second decree pronouncing this to be heresy, and, as the authors of it persisted in teaching it, he excommunicated them, and they went over to the party of the Emperor, Louis of Bavaria. Notwithstanding these decrees, the echoes of these disputes were heard when St. Bridget was in Italy, in 1350-73, pursuing her great work of bringing the Popes back from A vignon to Rome.
Revelations given to the 14th Century mystic, St Bridget of Sweden by God, the Virgin Mary, and various saints relating to apostasy and Church reform, as well as commentary by saints and others relating to our present time of widespread apostasy. Some of the Revelations are very startling, especially those relating to unfaithful bishops, priests, and religious, but also the laity as well, and the punishments that await them if they do not repent and amend their lives. The specially chosen revelations in this book, taken from the many St Bridget received, have great pertinence for today, as we also in our post-Vatican II age of widespread apostasy among Catholics, beginning with the clergy, need to hear these important messages, for when the Church, "the salt of the earth...loses its savor, it is good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot." (Mt 5:13) There is much spiritual and moral counsel in these heavenly revelations so as to help the reader to know how to live a life pleasing to Our Lord.(The Kindle edition of this book by Bro. Sean Wright is a shorter edition written earlier by me which was published by someone else without my permission. I asked Amazon to remove it but they haven't yet.)
